Preliminary results (N=11) show that in the Move-To-Target task, peripheral optic flow led to higher gains (perceived travel distance / actual travel distance) than the central field and full-field conditions during both the visual-only and visual- and-treadmill conditions. In the same task, the blind walking condition also led to higher gains than the visual-only or visual-and-treadmill conditions. In the Adjust-Target task, there were no significant differences between conditions.

in the central field, or in the far periphery. Participants judged travel distances by stopping at the
